Now in his 14th year as director of intercollegiate athletics, Morgan Burke embodies the Boilermaker spirit that drew him back to his alma mater. During his tenure, the women’s basketball team captured the national championship, the football team embarked on a run of eight bowl games in eight years and the men’s basketball team achieved an unprecedented string of back-to-back-to-back Big Ten Conference championships. Burke has been called the athletics director who came down from the grandstands because he was an avid fan and member of the John Purdue Club long before he was appointed to lead Intercollegiate Athletics in 1992. No one wants to see the Boilermakers prevail in competition more than Burke, and few expend more energy in cheering them on to victory. 1188 In Burke’s time at the helm of Purdue Intercollegiate Athletics, performances on and off the field reflect the high expectations that heralded his hiring.
